ii An Introduction to Jersey

Jersey is the largest of the Channel Islands with an area of 45 square miles (118.2 km2) and is situated 14 miles off the north-west coast of France and 85 miles from the south coast of England.

Jersey is a Crown Dependency and as such is not part of the UK. The Island is not represented in the UK parliament, whose Acts only extend to Jersey if expressly agreed by the Island that they should do so.

The Island of Jersey is divided into 12 Parishes: Grouville, St. Brelade, St. Clement, St. Helier, St. John, St. Lawrence, St. Martin, St. Mary, St. Ouen, St. Peter, St. Saviour and Trinity. Each Parish is presided over by an elected Connétable, who deals with issues relating to civil matters, and by a Rector who oversees ecclesiastical issues.

St St John Mary St Ouen Trinity St St Lawrence Martin St Peter St Helier St Saviour St Brelade Grouville

St Clement

The legislature of the Island is called 'The States of Jersey', members of which are elected by the population; males and females aged 16 or over. The States is comprised of the Bailiff, who is President of the Assembly, the Lieutenant-Governor, 10 Senators, the Connétables of the 12 Parishes, 29 Deputies, the Dean of Jersey, the Attorney-General and the Solicitor-General. All members have the right to speak in the States Assembly but only the elected members (the Senators, Connétables and Deputies) have the right to vote; the Bailiff, who is appointed by the Crown and acts as Speaker, has a casting vote.

iii The system of government is comprised of a Council of Ministers and several Scrutiny Panels. There are 51 States members; a maximum of 25 members are in ministerial positions either as Ministers (ten members) or Assistant Ministers (up to 15 members), and up to 30 other members sit on the Scrutiny Panels.

The economy of Jersey saw a great deal of change during the latter part of the 20th century, as trade markets became more international and global travel increased; traditional Jersey industries such as agriculture and tourism were superseded by financial services as the dominant industry in Jersey. The Financial services sector (which includes banking, trust and company administration, fund management, accountancy and legal activities) has grown such that it now accounts for two-fifths of total economic activity in Jersey and employs about a quarter of the workforce.

The concept of Gross Value Added (GVA) provides an appropriate measure of economic activity in Jersey. In essence, GVA is the sum of profits of businesses and earnings of employees. In 2010, total GVA (at basic prices) for Jersey was £3.5 billion.

Economic activity can also be considered in terms of the total income of resident businesses and individuals. This aggregate measure, known as Gross National Income (GNI), is derived from total GVA by subtracting income earned in Jersey by non-Jersey owned businesses and adding income earned overseas by Jersey businesses and resident individuals. In 2010, Jersey’s GNI was £4.0 billion.

The GVA for each sector of Jersey’s economy is shown in Figure 2.1. Financial services accounted for 41% of total GVA in 2010.

Figure 2.1: Gross Value Added by sector2, 2010

Other business activities: rental, Transport, storage & 15.2% communication, 4.6%

Financial services, 40.5%

2 The ‘Other business activities’ sector is made up of a range of services (principally, businesses servicing households or other businesses) and includes rental income of private households, both actual and imputed. 2 2.

3 2. National Accounts Historically, there has been a strong relationship between the finance industry and the overall Jersey economy (See Figure 2.2). The overall real term growth recorded up to 2000 was driven by the Finance sector. The subsequent periods of decline, growth and decline have resulted from the behaviour of the GVA of the Finance sector coupled with essentially stable real term GVA for the non-finance sectors of the economy.

In 2010, total GVA was the lowest recorded in real terms since at least 1998.

Figure 2.2 shows that the GVA of the Finance sector was surpassed by that of the combined non-finance sectors for the first time since 1998. In 2010, the GVA of the Finance sector fell by -11% in real terms whereas the non-finance sectors were essentially flat in real terms.

The number of funds administered from Jersey has more than quadrupled over the last decade. 6 3. Financial Services Investment Business The number of clients fell by more than 1,000 between September 2008 and September 2009. September 2011 reported an increase in the number of clients of 200 (1%) compared with 2010. This increase was reflected in the value of funds managed (up 1% on 2010); the average asset value per client has remained at a similar level to 2010.

Jersey is becoming a key jurisdiction for corporate listings; on 30th September 2011 there were 33,194 live companies on the register.

Survey of Financial Institutions The States of Jersey Statistics Unit runs an annual survey of financial institutions. This survey covers banks, trust and company administrators, fund managers, accountants and legal professionals.

The total net profit (on which Jersey tax is levied) of Jersey’s financial services sector in 2010 was estimated at £605 million. This total represents a fall of a quarter (-25%) compared with 2009, which itself had seen a fall of almost a half (-47%) compared with 2008. Thus, the total net profit of Jersey’s finance industry has fallen by -60% in the two years to 2010.

7 3. Financial Services Profits in the Banking sub-sector fell by almost a third (-32%) in 2010 to £350 million. Three-fifths (60%) of companies engaged in Banking activities recorded a fall in profits on an annual basis. Over the two-year-period since 2008, Banking profits have declined by -70%.

Profits recorded by the Fund management sub-sector fell by about a fifth (-20%) to £70 million in 2010. The Trust and company administration and Accountancy sub- sectors recorded similar declines in profit, each down by -19% on an annual basis.

Although the decline in profits recorded by Fund management reflects the volatile nature of global markets in recent years, it is the first time in eight years that the Trust and company administration sub-sector has reported a fall in annual profits. Estimated profits for Trust and company administration (excluding Legal activities) declined to £117 million in 2010, with more than two-fifths (42%) of such companies reporting a reduction in profits compared with 2009. This sub-sector had previously experienced ongoing growth in profits each year since 2002.

Profits for Accountancy in 2010 were estimated to be £19 million, a fall of £4 million from 2009.

The Legal sub-sector was the only area to report growth in profits in 2010. Annual net profits for this sub-sector were estimated to have risen by more than a third (34%) compared with 2009, to approximately £50 million.

Profit per employee across the finance sector in 2010 was £51,000 per full-time equivalent (FTE)3 employee, a fall of a quarter (-25%) on 2009, reflecting the large decrease seen in total profits in 2010.

Total expenditure on goods and services by Jersey’s finance sector was £690 million in 2010, more than half of this total being spent in Jersey.

3 The number of FTE staff was estimated from the data recorded by the six-monthly Manpower Survey. Part-time employees were uniformly assumed to be equivalent to 0.5 of a full-time employee. 8 3. Financial Services

In 2010, agricultural land occupied 56% of the Island’s area, a decrease of 131 hectares (730 vergées) since 2009. This decrease is largely attributable to a revision of the data, whereby large gardens, woodlands and scrubland were removed from the agricultural land bank data in 2010.

The main crop grown in Jersey, in terms of monetary value, is potatoes. In real terms (allowing for inflation), the value of potato exports increased by £4.9 million in 2010. However, 2010 saw a decrease of almost a fifth (19%) in the quantity exported, decreasing from 37,600 tonnes in 2009 to 30,500 tonnes in 2010.

In 2010, milk production on dairy farms supplying the Jersey Dairy increased for the second consecutive year to 12.9 million litres, increasing by 3% on 2009 levels. The quantity of milk produced in 2008 was the lowest recorded, at 11.8 million litres, having fallen by 36% since 2002.

Egg production from laying hens is the largest poultry activity in Jersey. However, the number of laying hens had decreased for five years in a row from 19,100 in 2005 to 15,300 in 2009, a drop of a fifth (-20%) over the period. In contrast, 2010 saw an increase in the number of laying hens, up by 21% to 18,400, to a level similar to 2006.

The number of sheep in Jersey has increased in recent years from 550 in 2007 to 950 in 2010, an increase of 72% over this period.

The Jersey Labour Market In December 2011, a total of 53,790 people were employed in Jersey. This employment total represents an increase of 260 on December 2010.

The private sector, including States Trading Committees4 and single-person enterprises, employed 47,070 people, an increase of 320 compared to a year earlier. The public sector headcount was reported at 6,730, which is a net decrease of 50 on an annual basis.

Over four-fifths (86%) of people employed in Jersey in December 2011 were locally qualified (as defined by the Regulation of Undertakings and Development Law), more than 3% were j-category and 10% were not locally qualified.

Employment by Sector In December 2011, almost a quarter (24%; 12,760 people) of Jersey’s workers were employed in Financial and legal services. The next largest sectors in terms of employment were Wholesale and retail trades (16%; 8,680 people) and the Public Sector (excluding States Trading Committees), which accounted for about one in eight (13%) of Jersey’s labour force.

In December 2011, there were over 6,600 private sector firms in Jersey. Of these around four-fifths (80%) employed 5 or fewer people. The greatest proportion of small businesses was in the Other Business Activities sector (88%) followed by Construction (82%). The Finance sector had the lowest proportion of small businesses (63%) and the greatest proportion of the large businesses (employing more than 20 people) at 20%.

Employment Unemployment There is no legal requirement for all unemployed residents of Jersey to register as actively seeking work with the Social Security Department. Therefore, the number of people registered as unemployed should be regarded as an indicator rather than a measure of the actual level of unemployment in the Island.

The number of people registered as unemployed and actively seeking work (ASW) in Jersey in December 2011 was 1,540.

Figure 6.3 shows that the number of people registered as unemployed and ASW in Jersey increased by almost 1,000 between January 2009 and February 2012, from 840 to 1,820, respectively.

Employment by Place of Birth and Gender In relative terms, employment levels in Jersey are high. In 2011, 82% of people of working age in Jersey were economically active (i.e. in work or looking for work).

As Table 6.3 shows the lowest rate was for Jersey-born residents (75%) and highest for people born in Poland (94%). The economic activity rate for Jersey-born residents of working age was lower than the rates of those born in other jurisdictions, predominantly as a result of the number of Jersey-born people in full-time education.

Work Permits Between 2004 and 2005, the number of work permit applications to work in Jersey fell by almost three-quarters. The fall occurred predominantly in the 'Hotel and Restaurants' and 'Agriculture' sectors and was largely a result of the entry of eight new nations into the EU in May 2004, thereby removing the requirement of work permits for such nationals.

21 7. Prices and Earnings 7. Prices and Earnings

Jersey (All-Items) Retail Prices Index, RPI During the twelve months to December 2011, the All-Items Retail Prices Index (RPI) for Jersey increased by 5.0% to stand at 150.4 (June 2000 = 100).

A Goods and Services Tax (GST) was introduced in Jersey in May 2008 at a rate of 3%; in June 2011 this rate was increased to 5%. This increase, from 3% to 5%, had an upward influence on the annual change in the RPI of 1.3 percentage points.

Two measures of underlying inflation for Jersey are published; RPI(X) which is the RPI excluding mortgage interest payments and RPI(Y) which is RPI excluding mortgage interest payments and indirect taxes such as GST and impôts.

23 7. Prices and Earnings Average earnings in the private sector increased by 2.2% over the year to June 2011; the majority of sectors saw increases of around 2 to 3 percent (Figure 7.2). The public sector saw average earnings increase by 3.9% over the year to June 2011. This increase was due to both a scheduled pay award (of 2%) for 2011 for the majority of employees as well as a retrospective pay award for 2010 (of 2%) for some pay groups.

The survey from which earnings data is compiled is strictly designed to measure changes in earnings rather than the level. The earnings levels shown in Figure 7.3 should therefore be considered as reasonable approximations. Furthermore, it should be noted that average weekly earnings figures refer to full-time equivalent (FTE) employees; part-time workers would earn proportionately less corresponding to the numbers of hours worked.

The average weekly earnings of (FTE) employees in Jersey in June 2011 was £650. The ‘Financial services’ sector (£880 per FTE) had the highest average weekly earnings, whilst ‘Agriculture’ had the lowest (£360 per FTE).

24 7. Prices and Earnings

The Jersey Income Distribution Survey (IDS) in 2009/2010 compiled the relevant information on individual earnings in order to derive a measure of median earnings.

Earnings in Jersey from employment in 2011 were: • Median Earnings: £520 per week per FTE • Mean Earnings: £670 per week per FTE

The difference between the mean average earnings from employment calculated from the IDS data (£670 per week) and that of the Index of Average Earnings, IAE, (£650 per week) is £20 per week. Given that the IDS and IAE are two different surveys, conducted at different points in time, and were designed to measure different aspects of earnings, the difference of £20 per week is consistent with the estimated confidence intervals for both surveys.

As shown in Figure 7.4, the long-term growth of earnings in Jersey has increased at a faster rate than retail prices. Since 1990 the Jersey RPI has increased by 128% (i.e. more than doubled), corresponding to an average annual rate of increase of 4.0% per year whilst earnings have increased by 167% over the same period, corresponding to an average annual rate of increase of 4.8% per year.

25 7. Prices and Earnings Thus over the long-term, earnings have increased faster than prices by an average of almost 1 percentage point per year.

Prices have increased at a faster rate than earnings in six out of the last 20 years.

It is apparent from Figure 7.5, recent years have constituted a different period in the relative behaviour of prices and earnings than that seen over the longer term: in three of the past five years prices in Jersey have increase at a greater rate than earnings.

26 8. States of Jersey Income and Expenditure 8. States of Jersey Income and Expenditure

In 2010, the States of Jersey recorded a deficit which was slightly higher than budgeted. The deficit arose because tax revenues, particular income tax receipts, were substantially lower than in 2009. The drop in tax revenues associated with the change in corporate tax to “0/10” was planned for; revenues have also been affected by the economic downturn and lower interest rates. The States has agreed a strategy to return to balanced budgets by 2013.

Total income in 2010 was £546 million, some £128 million less than in 2009. Total States net expenditure was £631 million, comprising net revenue expenditure of £599 million and capital expenditure of £32 million.

Total income tax revenue in 2010 was £394 million, which was £114 million less than in 2009. This reduction was due in part to lower employment numbers, lower pay increases, low interest rates and poor investment returns. The drop in tax revenues associated with “0/10” were clearly identified prior to its introduction and this prospective gap was filled by the Goods and Services Tax (GST), “20 means 20” and efficiencies.

The Stabilisation Fund

In December 2006 the States agreed to establish a Stabilisation Fund with the purpose of providing protection from the adverse impact of economic cycles, aiming to create a more stable environment with low inflation. The intention is that money will be paid into the Fund when the economy is growing strongly and drawn out from the Fund to support the economy when it is performing more weakly.

The Fund has been used to provide £44 million for the Economic Stimulus Package agreed by the States in 2009. A transfer of £68 million was made in 2010 to support the Consolidated Fund and a further transfer of £36 million has been recently forecast in the 2012 Budget.

In 2011 impôt duties on road fuel generated £20.8 million (41% of the total); tobacco duty raised £12.5 million (24% of the total). Individual alcohol categories each contributed between 8% and 11% of total impôts duty collected. Vehicle Registration Duty contributed to revenue from 2003 until it was abolished in May 2008 when it had an annual value of £5.8 million (2007).

Revenue from tobacco duty has also increased, from £11.2 million to £12.5 million between 2000 and 2011. Duty raised from spirits has seen little change, whilst that raised from beer has more than doubled over the 11-year period.

Whilst the overall revenue has been increasing in most years, the amount of dutiable products imported has generally fallen. In 2011 beer imports were down by 20% on 2001 levels, road fuel down 12%, spirits down 27% and tobacco down by more than half. In contrast, wine imports have stayed essentially stable over the 10-year period, whilst cider imports have increased by around two-fifths.

Total Population On 27 March 2011 (Census Day), the resident population of Jersey was 97,857.

The resident population of Jersey increased by 9,100 between 2001 and 2011 (including the undercount of both censuses), corresponding to an increase of 10% over 10 years. Natural growth (an excess of births over deaths) accounted for 2,300 whilst net migration into Jersey over the decade accounted for 6,800 of the increase.

Migration Migration into and out of the Island consists of a dynamic ‘ebb and flow’ of migrants in both directions. The net migration in a given calendar year is therefore the difference between those arriving and those leaving.

As can be seen from Figure 11.2, people born in countries which had recently joined the European Union were one of the largest contributors to the total net inward migration between 2001 and 2011. People born in Poland accounted for 3,100 of the total net migration from such countries.

Population Structure

In 2011, around two-thirds (66%) of the total resident population were of working age (women/men aged 16-59/64 years), about a sixth (18%) were above working age and another sixth (17%) below working age. These proportions have been substantially constant since 1981, although the absolute numbers in each category have increased.

On Census Day March 2011, over four-fifths of the resident population of Jersey possessed housing qualifications within the ‘a-h’ category as defined under Housing Regulations. Around one in eight (13%) people in Jersey were non-locally qualified.

Population Density The population density of Jersey is approximately double that of England and about a quarter less than Guernsey. Figure 11.4 shows the pattern of population density across the Island.

The Jersey Annual Social Survey (introduced in 2005) along with the Censuses has shown how the origin of migrants to the Island has changed. Throughout the 1970’s, 1980’s and 1990’s between half and two-thirds of ‘Other Europeans’ arriving in Jersey were from Portugal/Madeira. A significant change has occurred in recent years with the proportion arriving from Portugal/Madeira falling, whilst that from Poland has increased (see Figure 11.6)

Dwellings The 2011 census identified 44,6986 private dwellings and 157 communal establishments in Jersey. It also found that around one in fourteen (7%) of all private dwellings were vacant on census day – a total of 3,103 dwellings. St Helier had the highest number of vacant dwellings (1,397), whilst St Peter had the highest proportion of vacant dwellings, with a vacant rate of 9%.

Private Households The number of private households8 in Jersey recorded in the 2011 Census was 41,595.

More than half of households in Jersey are owner-occupied, a third are privately rented (qualified or non-qualified) and around one in seven households are accommodated in social housing.

Number of Persons per Household The average number of people per private household declined between the 1971 and 2011 Censuses7. The declining trend in household size is apparent in Table 12.2.

6 Private dwellings as measured by the census are not necessarily separate physical dwellings; in the census separate dwellings were identified where the occupants shared a living space and a cooking area and may not necessarily correspond to a dwelling with a separate entrance. 7 The total number of private households and the average number of persons per household are not strictly comparable to earlier censuses because households living as independent units in lodging houses and staff accommodation were treated as private households for the first time in 2001; there were 1,801 such households recorded by the 2001 Census.

Property Type The types of property people in Jersey live in shows that more than two-fifths (44%) are flat/maisonettes, whilst a quarter (26%) live in a detached house and a further third (30%) live in a semi-detached or terraced house (Table 12.3).

Over four-fifths (82%) of dwellings have one, two or three bedrooms. The majority of rental accommodation has either one or two bedrooms with nearly two-thirds (62%) of non-qualified accommodation having one bedroom. In contrast, almost seven out of ten (69%) of owner-occupier households have three or more bedrooms.

The 2011 census found that 44% of ‘single parent with dependent children’ households were living in States, housing trust or parish rental. Over a quarter (28%) were living in owner-occupied accommodation. In contrast, over four-fifths (82%) of households with two or more pensioners lived in owner-occupied accommodation.

43 13. Housing 13. Housing

House Prices The average price of dwellings is calculated by weighting together the average price for each of the following five categories: 1- and 2-bedroom flats; 2-, 3- and 4-bedroom houses (“houses” includes houses and bungalows). The resulting mix-adjusted average dwelling price is converted into the Jersey House Price Index (based to 100 for calendar year 2002). The index includes share transfer properties and is seasonally adjusted.

In order that the average price in a given period is independent of the particular “mix” of properties sold in that period, a “mix-adjusted” average is calculated for each period by weighting each property type by a constant proportion.

Figure 13.1 shows the annual average price changes from 1986 to 2011 on a calendar year basis. An annual rate of increase of 20% or higher has occurred in Jersey on three occasions in the last two decades: in 1989, 1998 and 2008. Each of these peaks was then followed by a period of lower rates of increase.

More recently, over the period covered by the new Jersey House Price Index8, property prices overall were effectively flat between 2002 and 2003, increased at a rate of about 3% per annum in both 2004 and 2005, at almost 7% in 2006 and at 13% in

8 See “The Jersey House Price Index – comparison of old and new methodologies”; States of Jersey Statistics Unit, June 2003. 44 13. Housing 2007. Calendar year 2008 saw a greater rate of price growth; the overall average price of dwellings sold in 2008 was 20% higher than in 2007.

The most recent change, the overall average price of properties sold in 2011 being 1% below that of 2010, this small decrease was driven by lower property prices recorded in the latter part of 2011.

During the fourth quarter of 2011, the average (mix-adjusted) price of dwellings sold in Jersey was £415,000 (an index value of 143.8 where 2002 = 100). On a quarterly basis, property prices were about 2% lower than in the previous quarter (Q3 2011) and almost 7% lower than in the corresponding quarter of the previous year, Q4 2010.

Property type specific movements can be seen in Table 13.1 for the past seven years.

Jersey Private Sector Rental Index The Jersey Private Sector Rental Index is based on consents granted for new lease transactions.

There are about 1,800 and 700 private sector lease transactions per year for flats and houses respectively. The index is weighted accordingly, with flats accounting for around three-quarters of the total index. The resulting mix-adjusted average rental

The mean rent (from new consents) in 2011 was 3% higher than in 2010.

Jersey Housing Affordability Index

In 2011: • the mean property price was seven times the mean gross household income, • the price of a lower quartile property in Jersey was seven times the income of a household at the lower quartile of income; in 2010 this ratio was eight.

The headline indicator, the Jersey Housing Affordability Index, showed that between 2002 and 2011, a working household with mean net income was not able to service a mortgage affordably on the purchase price of a median priced house of any size.

A working household with mean net income was able to service a mortgage affordably on the purchase price of a median price 1-bedroom flat through the period 2002-2011 and on a median priced 2-bedroom flat during the periods 2002-2005 and 2009-2011 but not during 2006-2008.

The marginal improvement in affordability in 2011 compared to 2010 was largely due to a greater proportion of lower-priced share transfer properties being available to purchase in 2011.

Housing Figure 13.3 The Jersey Housing Affordability Index, median dwelling price (3-bedroom houses) and mean mortgage interest rates, 2002-2011 £600,000 100 90 £500,000 80 70 £400,000 60 £300,000 50 7.44 6.53 6.90 40 6.52 £200,000 6.15 5.66 5.47 30 4.10 3.96 4.04 JHAI 20 £100,000 Mortgage Interest Rate 10 Median Dwelling Price £0 0 2002 2003 2004 2005 2006 2007 2008 2009 2010 2011

In 2011, 2.1 full-time equivalent (FTE) workers would have been required to service a mortgage affordably on the purchase price of a median priced property (all types). The 2011 Census showed that there was a mean of 1.6 FTE workers in households which contained at least one working adult.

The affordability study also considers the ability of key workers (police officer, teacher or nurse with 3 to 4 years of service) to get onto the property ladder. The earnings of individual teachers and nurses were not sufficient to service a mortgage affordably on the purchase price of a lower quartile property (all types) in 2010 or 2011.

The earnings of an individual police officer were sufficient to service a mortgage affordably on the purchase price of a lower quartile priced property (all types) in 2011 but not in 2010. Police officers and teachers were better placed than the average worker in terms of being able to afford such a property, whilst nurses were slightly below the average.

General Health Status One way to determine the overall health of a population is by asking people to self-rate their health. The 2010 round of the Jersey Annual Social Survey recorded that over nine-tenths (96%) of adults in Jersey rate their health as “Fairly good” or “Good” in 2010. Differences can be seen across the age-groups (Figure 17.1), with 68% of those aged 16-34 rating their health as “Good” compared to just 42% of those aged 65 and over.

Urgent Calls come from GPs (not 999) and totalled 1,221 in 2011, an average of about 3 per day. Routine Calls are for transfer of patients and are at a similar rate (1,343 calls) to Urgent Calls.

Response Rates It is the aim of the Ambulance Service to respond to all Category A calls within 8 minutes, which can often be difficult in the outlying areas of the island. The target for Category B and C is to be reached within 19 minutes.

59 19. Ambulance Service

2011 saw an increase in targets reached compared to 2010. Life-threatening situations (Category A) were reached within the 8 minute targets in 65% of the time compared with 64% in 2010. The response rates for Category A in the West of the Island remained at 14% in 2011, a similar level to 2010. Category B and C saw a similar rate in 2011, where such calls were responded to within the target time in 97% of cases for Category B and in 85% of Category C cases.

Care Rating (Source: JASS 2010) Almost two-thirds (63%) of people who had received care from the Ambulance Service (including Patient Transport) in the last twelve months rated the care as “Excellent”; a further quarter (28%) rated it “Very good”.

Community Alarms The elderly and infirm living at home in Jersey can be supplied with a Community Alarm System to which the Ambulance Service respond when activated if it is a genuine emergency (otherwise key holders are contacted to attend as a first response). In 2011, the ambulance responded to 225 such alarms; neighbours/contacts were notified in another 95 cases and GPs were called in 16 cases. The total alarms activations for 2011 amounted to 4,037.

Automated External Defibrillators In 2011 there were a total of 118 defibrillators in the community, the result of a St John’s Ambulance driven initiative.

60 20. Coastguard 20. Coastguard

Jersey Coastguard provides the response, initiation, co-ordination and international co-ordination service for maritime Search and Rescue (SAR) within Jersey’s territorial waters. The team also coordinates pilotage and shipping movements for the Port of Jersey, run the VTS (Vessel Traffic Services) for the port and undertake operational liaison with the Shipping Companies which serve Jersey. The Coastguard manages the counter pollution and salvage response for the Island under the Shipping (Jersey) Law 2002 and maintains the voyage safety reporting service for all vessels on passage in territorial waters, with 3,400 reports being received and processed in 2011. The Coastguard also assists the Fire and Rescue Service, Ambulance Service and Police to respond to incidents where persons are at risk of injury or death on the Island’s cliffs or the shoreline.

Search and Rescue Incidents (SAR) In 2011 there were a total of 160 incidents that required the use of Coastguard SAR Service (see Table 20.1 and 20.2). The service assisted a total of 270 people during the year, and saved a further 6 from imminent danger. 36 Alarms with good intent were raised by members of the public to a potential problem at sea; each of these were investigated either from ashore or by an SAR unit. There were 80 vessels that needed assistance during 2011 and a further 10 needed saving from imminent danger. The most common reasons for incidents occurring at sea were mechanical/cooling failure or due to fuel or oil problems.

Coastguard Vessels As well as helping with SAR operations and assisting the other emergency services, the fleet also operates a 24 hour pilotage service for the port of Jersey and assists vessels to safely dock in port. The fleet also conducts maintenance and inspection of aids to navigation (lighthouses, buoys and beacons), harbour and offshore reef structures. Additionally, if required, the fleet also carries out salvage operations, oil pollution response, offshore towage and other contract work in the Channel Islands area.

Social Security Fund The Social Security scheme in Jersey uses contributions paid by workers to fund old age pensions and to cover periods of ill-health and maternity.

For low to medium wage earners, supplementation is used to top-up the contributions to ensure a full pension and full insurance if unable to work.

In 2010, expenditure on benefits paid out from the Social Security Fund totalled £178 million. Income from contributions, supplementation, interest and rent totalled £217 million.

Over 26,000 people received an Old Age Pension from Jersey in 2010 and around a 1,000 mothers claimed a Maternity Allowance.

Tax Funded Benefits

Income Support provides financial assistance towards the costs of housing, living, medical needs and childcare.

On the 31st of December 2010 there were 7,617 Income Support claims being paid.

Other tax funded schemes will continue after Income Support, e.g. the Christmas Bonus benefit. In 2010 18,994 people each received a Christmas Bonus payment.

Health and Safety Inspectorate The Health and Safety Inspectorate is the regulatory authority of health and safety at work in the Island.

In 2010, the Inspectorate was involved with 8 Royal Court prosecutions which resulted in a total of over £200,000 fines and costs. During the year the Inspectorate received 146 complaints regarding working conditions and activities.

They also made 7,931 regulatory contacts, which includes written correspondence, phone calls and face-to-face meetings.

Employees in the Island made a total of 860 benefit claims as a result of work related accidents and ill health, a reduction of 16 over the previous year.

68 24. Vehicle Transport 24. Vehicle Transport

Number of Vehicles The number of vehicle records on the Driver and Vehicle Standards (DVS) register surpassed 100,000 for the first time in 2005 and stood at 117,537 on 31 December 2011.

This 2011 figure represents a net increase of 2,195 on 2010. The increase comprises the difference between new registrations (8,839), scrapped (2,072) and exported (4,572) vehicles.

It must be taken into account that many vehicles may lie unused or have been disposed of without informing DVS. These vehicle records remain on the register, resulting in a higher number of registered vehicles than actual vehicles on Jersey’s roads.

In 2011, 67 hybrid vehicles were registered; more than double the number registered in 2010 (32).

As recorded by the 2011 Census, the average number of cars/vans per private households was 1.50. This number was at a similar level to that recorded in 2001 (1.48) and higher than that for the UK10 (1.2). The average number of motorcycles/scooters per household increased from 0.12 to 0.19 per household between 2001 and 2011.

Vehicle Transport In 2011, 2,967 people (1,757 males and 1,210 females) took a practical driving test. A higher proportion of males passed than females, with 1,258 males (72%) and 717 females (59%) passing. In total, 992 people failed, made up of 50% males and 50% females. Of the total practical driving tests, 2,275 (77%) were taken in a car.

Vehicle Transport Households without access to a car or van The 2011 Census found that one in six (16%) private households did not own or have access to a car or van, a figure unchanged from 2001 (16%) and slightly lower than in 1989 (20%). The proportion of households without a car/van was lower than in the UK11 (23%).

Nearly a third (30%) of households living in St Helier did not have a car/van. More than one in five (22%) private households in rural parishes had three of more cars/vans for private use.

Of those households on the Island without access to a car/van, two-fifths (40%) were single adults and a quarter (24%) were single pensioners.

Transport to work In 2011, more than half (56%) of working adults travelled to work by private car/van. A quarter (25%) walked and fewer than one in twenty (4%) used the bus. The distribution of mode of transport used for travel to work has remained essentially unchanged since 2001, when 57% of people reported using a car, 23% walked, 4% used the bus and 3% cycled.

ECO-ACTIVE Energy Efficiency Service (EES) The EES was officially launched in 2009 and is funded by a seed donation of £500,000 from the Jersey Electricity Company and an annual budget of £1 million from the States of Jersey derived from Jersey’s first environmental tax VRD (Vehicle Registration Duty). The scheme provides grant funded energy efficiency improvement measures to socio-economically vulnerable Islanders. The work of the EES is overseen by the Jersey Energy Trust (JET). The ESS is accredited by the UK Energy Saving Trust.

By January 2011, the EES had helped or were helping 735 private households through either the Home Energy Scheme or ‘Heating System Improvement’ programme. 21 charities and not-for-profit organisations were also receiving assistance through the Community Building Programme.

The measures installed through both the Home Energy Scheme and Heating System Improvement in phase 1 (between January 2009 and January 2011) will save 2,008MWh of energy annually (enough to boil 10 million full kettles). The measures will reduce energy bills of the individual properties by £239 a year, or collectively £160,500. 430 tonnes of carbon dioxide will be saved annually (the equivalent of around 4,300 flights from Jersey to London).

In 2011, the EES commissioned a Heat Loss Map of the Island to be produced, using thermal imaging equipment to enable Islanders to see the heat loss of their properties. The map aims to encourage people to insulate their properties.

Groundwater The Department of the Environment has monitored the quality of groundwater sites across the Island for two decades. The chemical quality of groundwater is improving; by 2010, around three-fifths of the 20 sites monitored (61%) have a nitrate level below the EU standard of 50 mg/l, compared to some 42% ten years ago. The biological quality of Jersey’s streams has also improved, with just under half (47%) now having good or high biological water quality, compared to 22% ten years ago. Toxic algal testing is also conducted and to date toxins have not been detected or reached concentrations that could potentially be harmful.

Marine Environment The fisheries protection vessel monitors cetacean presence and activity. Dolphins were sighted on 22 separate occasions in 2010. In total 183 adult dolphins and 17 juveniles were observed. This is a slight increase in the total number of dolphins

73 25. Environment seen in 2009 (173) and 2008 (125). Juveniles represented 9% of sightings in 2010, compared to 10% in 2009 and 3% in 2008.

Heavy metal concentration in shellfish and algae are also recorded; samples have been collected from five sites along the south and south-east coast of Jersey since 1993 (Corbiere to Les Ecréhous). Results show that between 2005 and 2010 the highest level of zinc and copper were recorded at the West of Albert and Elizabeth Castle sampling sites. The concentration of lead was highest in Havre des Pas site, whilst levels of cadmium, arsenic and chromium were equally spread between sampling sites (Corbiere to Les Ecréhous). Levels of arsenic in all biota has steadily increased between 2005 and 2010; comparing the concentration of trace metals between Jersey and elsewhere indicates that the level of arsenic in marine biota is less than that recorded from similar studies in the UK. Levels of cadmium, copper, zinc and lead do not exceed values cited for the UK and France.

Biodiversity The Countryside Renewal Scheme (CRS) provides grant subsidy to create new habitats; over 9,000 vergées (including heath land and natural grassland) and around 16,000 linear metres (including hedgerows and field margins) of new habitat has been created since 2005.

The garden bird survey is carried out once a year, when Islanders are invited to record and contribute their sightings to an annual publicity campaign. The observations of 12 garden bird species are used to produce an indicator which has demonstrated a declining trend in the populations of these species.

Selected wading species such as Brent goose (Branta bernicla) are monitored at a number of sites Island-wide, including Grouville Bay and St Aubin’s Bay. There is a declining trend from combined data of 11 species of wading birds.

The Department also monitors species of bats on the Island. Jersey has 136 known or suspected bat roost sites. Emergence surveys were made to 49% of suspected roosts in the period 2007 – 2010, and around half (49%) of those roosts were shown to be active. During 2004 to 2009 an annual monitoring project was carried out to monitor the species diversity and abundance of bats observed at two key foraging habitat types: water bodies and woodland. Eight species of bats were identified from these monitoring exercises and further analysis has shown that there has been no decline in activity over the five years monitoring has occurred.

Air Quality The States of Jersey monitor the quality of Jersey’s air at several sites around the Island. There is an automatic monitoring station for Nitrogen dioxide (NO2) at the Central Market. In addition, non-automatic diffusion tube samplers were used for indicative monitoring of NO2 at twelve sites around the island and a suite of four hydrocarbons at a further six sites.

NO2 is a known irritant to the respiratory system and can affect human health.

Annual concentrations of NO2 at all twelve diffusion tube monitoring sites were all within the EC directive limit value. The automatic monitoring site at the Market met the EC Directive value for both the 1-hour mean NO2 concentration and the annual mean NO2 concentration.

A diurnal pattern in concentrations of oxides of nitrogen around the Market area was similar to that observed in the past two years. It showed a clear peak in the early morning (0700-0800) and very little afternoon rush-hour peak. This is thought to reflect the early morning activity of market retailers arriving to set up for the day, and of daily refuse collectors.

All six hydrocarbon monitoring sites met the EC Directive limit. The concentrations of the monitored hydrocarbons at most sites have decreased over the fifteen years the survey has been conducted, particularly during the early years.

In 2010, more than 37,000 connections were on mains water supply, along a network of 540 kilometres. The total volume of water supplied in 2010 was 7,220 million litres, with the maximum daily demand being 26 million litres. Total consumption of water has remained relatively stable since 1999, despite 6,000 more connections.

In 2007 there were 10,623 metered connections and 16,248 in 2010 - an increase of 53%.

Bathing Water Quality All sixteen Jersey beaches tested in 2011 passed the ‘European Imperative Standard’. The 100% compliance rate was higher than the UK average.

Fifteen out of sixteen beaches passed the stricter ‘European Guide Standard’ in 2011. This is the highest number of passes since monitoring began twenty years ago.

Bathing water data is collected by the Department of the Environment and is independently assessed by The Centre for Research into Environment and Health. The results are forwarded to the Marine Conservation Society (MCS) for inclusion in “The Good Beach Guide”.

Pollution Incidents A total of 71 pollution incidents were reported to Environment Protection in 201112. The number has reduced from 91 incidents recorded in 2010, which itself saw a decrease on the previous year. The decline is thought to be due to the Department’s pollution prevention campaigns (for example the ‘Oil Care Campaign’ that encourages householders to take care of their oil tanks and pipe work) (see Figure 26.1).

In 2011 there were a total of 3,346 households using registered or licensed private water supplies (boreholes, wells and surface water); these served an estimated 9,273 people. The majority of these registered water abstractions provide a domestic supply to a single property. The estimated total quantity of water abstracted for domestic household requirements from private sources per year was almost 500,000 cubic metres (about 109.6 million gallons) in 2011.

78 27. Waste Management 27. Waste Management

Jersey produces about 100,000 tonnes of rubbish every year. The amount of waste generated by the Island has doubled in the last 20 years.

Recycling Rate The Island achieved a recycling rate of 31% in 2011, recycling a total of 30,660 tonnes of material including garden waste, paper and televisions. The States of Jersey target is to reach a recycling rate of at least 36% by 2018.

Refuse per person An evaluation of household waste generation in Jersey (undertaken in 2001 by the Public Services Department) indicated that the average municipal waste for each person was 475kg per annum. This figure was some 175kg per annum greater than the target of 300kg per annum set by the EU.

Jersey residents produce about the same amount of waste, on average, as UK residents (480kg) but 245kg less per person than US residents.

Recycling The total recycling rate in 2011 was 31%.

Despite maintaining the recycling rate of the previous year, increases were reported in many of the recyclables collected; notably paper and card, cans, green waste and batteries. The growth in household metals was also significant, but this increase was largely due to the separation of ferrous metals post incineration.

80 27. Waste Management The priorities of the Transport and Technical Services (TTS) Recycling Team are aligned to the Waste Management Licence for the new Energy from Waste Plant sited at La Collette. This Licence lists materials that should not be sent for local energy recovery such as metals, batteries, glass and electronic goods. In order to increase the recycling rate of these waste streams TTS are focusing on specific campaigns to educate all sectors of the local community. One example of the success of this strategy is the tonnage of batteries collected in 2011, which was nearly double the tonnage of 2010.

The apparent decline in the tonnage of textile recycling reported is likely to be a result of new operators collecting, textiles re-used locally in charity shops and car boot sales, for which reported data is unavailable. Therefore, textile recycling is probably greater than the data indicates.

Kerbside The parishes of St John, St Lawrence, St Mary and Trinity continued their household kerbside collections in 2011 by providing householders with a monthly collection for metal packaging, paper and plastic bottles, with the parishes of St Lawrence and St Mary also including cardboard recycling. The Parish of St Helier continued to expand their kerbside recycling collection to more households.

All parishes except St Helier continued to provide household glass collections. St Helier, which accounts for approximately a third of the Islands’ households, continued to collect household glass using a “bring bank” system.

Bring-Banks By the end of 2011, the bring-bank network contained 17 sites providing all twelve parishes with at least one site where household paper, metal packaging, plastic bottles and plastic bags could be collected for recycling. Cardboard recycling was added to an additional two sites to make it easier for Islanders to recycle household boxes and card packaging. Facilities to recycle household batteries were also added to the majority of public bring-bank sites, as well as schools, to increase the amount of batteries separated for recycling.

Recycling Centre The Household Recycling Centre at Bellozanne opened in June 2007. The site provides collection facilities for a wide range of materials, from TVs and computers to used cooking oil and cardboard. The impact of the digital switchover in November 2010 continued to generate high numbers of televisions received at the Recycling Centre. All of the units were exported for specialist recycling in the south of England.

Green Waste Site Garden waste is composted for use on agricultural land and in gardens as a “Soil Improver”. TTS also encourages households to compost their own kitchen and garden waste by providing subsidised home composting kits for sale through garden centres.

Once the materials are collected, they are processed for recycling. The next step in each material’s life cycle is shown in Table 27.2.

Climate 28. Climate

Meteorological data has been recorded at the Maison St. Louis Observatory in St Saviour since 1894. Administered by the Jersey Meteorological Department (based at Jersey Airport), the long and continuous data set from the Maison St. Louis Observatory has made an important contribution to studies of global warming and the possible impact of climate change on the Channel Islands. Sunshine records are from the official sunshine station at Fort Regent.
